No one fry is the same

Well, there aren’t any fixed recipe for french fries. There are tons of different types of fries to start with — thick cut, curly, waffle, shoestring, crinkle-cut, etc. But even within the same french fry family, the ingredients used and process of cooking can differ from restaurants to restaurants. But one thing for sure? It’s almost never just fried potatoes and salt.

Oh dear… half the ingredients on the list sounds pretty foreign, don’t they? That’s because many chemicals have to be added to keep frozen fries remain tasty and look good. For example, ‘sodium acid pyrophosphate’ is used to preserve the colour of the fries, and ‘tertiary butylhydroquinone’ acts as a preservative.

And here’s another thing: the fries you eat at most restaurants are fried twice — once before they are frozen and shipped to the restaurant, and another time before served.

Still lovin’ it?
